Aura, I agree that, were it to be utilised, a proper and well thought out implementation of a TWL would be essential... my numbers per division were arbritrary, based on the 'simple' numbers (minimums that I'd hope/expect the Tours to *consistently* achieve in 2005) of teams to write formats/schedules for.
I'm thinking (but can't say for sure) that the TWL actually disappeared when the Open Tour was 'split' into A and B divisions, when it was assumed/hoped that the B events would happen at their own location, where the B event would not need size regulation (until it became another regular 32+ team fixture, when I guess we'd see a B/C split implemented...) Unfortunately, I have a feeling that few people will have enough time available to follow this through properly to attempt to implement it in 2005, and we'll continue to muddle through...
